Goal : $60,000.00
$0.00
One in ten children will experience sexual abuse before the age of 18. To solve this problem, Holly’s House provides a research-based prevention program completely free to schools. Students PreK - 6th grade learn in a fun and engaging way: - Body safety and boundaries - The tricks predators use - Online safety - How to identify “stormy weather people” and trusted adults More than 90,000 students have received this program through our partnerships with local schools in the last nine years. But with 1 in 10 students at risk, we want to reach every child possible. EVSC has 22,000 children are enrolled. That means 2,200 will be sexually abused before the age of 18. Most perpetrators, 90%, are family members or family friends, making prevention education vital. Prevention education provides the knowledge children need to identify trusted adults and the language to share their truths. Help us reach our goal of preventing abuse before it begins for an additional 3,500 students through the Walking for Dreams fundraising event.
